I guess I'm interested to know what Windows Mobile phones from a CDMA perspective (Sprint) exist that are going to give me a processor upgrade and presumably RAM, ROM, etc. upgrade over the Diamond?

Even though the TP2 uses the same processor, but even the stock rom is smooth and more responsive than my diamond from the little time I played with a TP2 in the store. The biggest thing those '160' pixels get you is the ability to use the newest HTC packages. Everything new is made for WVGA, and we have to get most of it ported to VGA before we can use it on our diamonds. I'd love to be able to dump a leo ROM and just use many of the packages from it to make my ROM. Instead, I end up with a decent VGA sense 2.5 port (but a version or 2 behind the latest) and getting to play with xml's to make them fit my scrreen and things the haven't been ported to vga (like htcalbum). The TP2 also has newer drivers for it than our Diamonds. HTCVolumeControl works now with WM 6.5.x on the TP2, but doesn't work on older devices like our Diamonds or the Blackstone. The only thing different between the ROMs is that the TP2 has different OEMDrivers/XIP, so it must be something in there preventing us from using HTCVolumeControl on our phones.
Alas, I don't want a brick in my pocket...so I'm staying with my Diamond for now.
